    Why would SAC want IT... IT isn't going to resign and they have Fox...

    Also, no wss they give up IT, Love, and the BKN pick for CJ and Love.

    And the talent at 20 is very close to the talent at 12.

    Nobody is going to trade a young franchise PG for a 31-year old Dame in is contract year, and there's anything less is an even worse idea.

    Also CLE isn't going to trade the BKN pick and Love for CJ. They have little froth in the frontcourt and no defense. How is trading Love for CJ gonna fix any of that? LeBron still ends up leaving because the problem isn't fixed and they end up with McCollum instead of Doncic and Love (or whatever else they could trade Love for). It's not happening.

    Then trade him at 29, you get this is hypothetical right, if we had Nurk/Collins/Porter/Donic next year all at 23 or younger I’d trade him immediately for a high pick or pg that fit the timeline. It’s 1:30 am Wednesday morning on a sports forum...it’s called Fantasy Time.

    Everyone knows Neil runs a right ship too. All we have to do is wait another 36 hours...

    No, don't trade Dame. That's a horrible idea. C'mon dude.

    When lebron leaves they will trade Love, look at the pukes on their roster outside of Love/LBJ. They will need a complete rebuild, are they gonna start that rebuild around a 30 year old Love? Nope

    So for a rebuild, why would they rather have Doncic and extra 1sts or McCollum... What do you think..?

    "They will need a rebuild, so they trade Love for a 26-year-old McCollum."

    -"Makes sense."

    "And they attach a Top 5 Pick to it."

    -"..."

    Why would you keep Dame if he was 5-7 years older than the 4 players I mentioned? Their timelines wouldn’t match up. This is all fantasy time because I doubt we end up with 2 top 5 picks but if we did it would be a waste to keep Dame around while the 4 I mentioned developed when we could trade him and have a 5th(5 starters) who could all grow together.

    Those are the centerpieces of the trade, not the whole trade, and yes a 26 year old top 5 SG and local Cleveland kid wouldn’t be bad to start a rebuild around.

    Compared to a Top 5 pick in a loaded draft and two other mid firsts...?

    Because I don’t think they will go into a rebuild until Lebron actually leaves, if they think there is any chance of him staying by upgrading the roster now they will probably consider it. What helps more the rest of the season, that pick? Love? Or the guy who isn’t hurt and not playing college ball?

    The postseason is what matters for them. Not right now. CJ isn't an upgrade over Love for the postseason, so while they not only do they fail to upgrade their team for the playoffs, they get rid of their only recourse from when LeBron leave due to their failure to upgrade the team... It makes 0 sense and it's not gonna happen.
